Operating any business in the digital age presents new legal challenges.

We assist our clients in planning an on-line presence and, when conflict is unavoidable, we call on our strength as trial and appellate counsel to work toward a successful end to the dispute.

In this environment, it takes more than cleverly drafted terms of service on a website to ensure adequate protection. The attorneys of Hermes, Netburn, O’Connor & Spearing, P.C. offer a wealth of experience in both evolving media law and complex risk management.
